Chapter 832 Old Friends

“Hahaha… That’s why I think some people are so short-sighted. The cultivation methods of the Human Clan mean nothing to the Demon Clan. Even if they have studied them thoroughly, so what? The improvement of strength of the Human Clan is the real benefit. Only in this way can the warriors of the Human Clan survive the Holy War in the future. Do you think that we can gain the upper hand if the Demon Clan can’t study our cultivation methods thoroughly? Idiots!”

“I’m afraid that Ding Hao is winning people’s support by doing this. He might be up to something!”

“Bah! I hate guys like you who foment disunity and dissension. What do you mean by winning people’s support? If what Ding Hao had done is a means of winning people’s support, I’d rather heads of all sects stand out to win people’s support! Only those who are generous and courageous can win people’s support. That’s the justice!”

All kinds of discussions came out one after another.

However, Ding Hao laughed them away.

It was something that Ding Hao had long wanted to do.

He had obtained a lot of ancient saber and sword techniques of the Archean Period in the Sage Battlefield. He had also observed some martial arts on the divine statues in the ruins of the Sacred Hall. They were all ownerless. In addition, there were thousands of primary and middle-level cultivation methods in the library of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. All the books that accumulated efforts of the Human Clan seniors were laid aside and neglected. Letting them be nibbled by rats and be covered in dust is a complete waste.

Since they were all about martial arts of the Human Clan, why not make them public? If they were made public, those rogue cultivators and disciples of small sects with talent and perseverance who had been practicing hard would finally have an opportunity to be guided by famous masters.

It would be a scandal for each sect to hide what they have.

In the past, it was an attempt for Ding Hao to create the Seven Black Cut and made it public. This time, when he returned to Snow Province of the Northern Region, the Seven Black Cut’s popularity and its role in fighting against the demonic beasts of the Demon Clan also proved that Ding Hao was doing the right thing.

Ding Hao’s identity and status were quite different from that of the past. Being renowned in the Northern Region offered him an opportunity to do what he wanted to do.

The 99 middle-level skills he selected contained the five elements and the mutated Qi. They were moderate in difficultness and easy for rogue cultivators and disciples of small sects to learn. Moreover, they would help them improve their strength.

Each person could find a suitable cultivation method from the 99 martial arts tablets.

It was believed that the spread of 99 cultivation methods would bring about a giant increase in the strength of the middle- and lower-class warriors of the Human Clan in the Northern Region. Those gifted teenagers from poor families who cannot learn martial arts because of their family backgrounds would have the chance to become rising stars.

In the future, if there were real geniuses who benefited from the tablets and stood out, Ding Hao would also teach them advanced cultivation methods.

Of course, Ding Hao also had the cultivation methods that may change the Human Clan’s future and the cultivation methods suitable for Martial Kings, Martial Emperors, Martial Grand Emperors, and other real superiors to cultivate. However, Ding Hao would never make them public.

If the legendary martial arts were made public, Ding Hao would be a real idiot.

Even Ding Hao himself had not expected that this matter would have such a profound impact in the beginning. Thousands of years later, the Drill Hall of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was called the Mercy Hall. The 99 martial arts tablets were called the Saint Mercy Tablets, which became the supreme holy place in the hearts of people of the Human Clan on the Land of Infinity.

Perhaps the martial arts skills on the 99 Saint Mercy Tablets were not the best or the most amazing ones, but they made countless Absolute Superiors of later generations bow their heads in front of them.

That was because countless warriors on the Land of Infinity had benefited from practicing the martial arts on the Saint Mercy Tablets when they were learning rudimentary knowledge of martial arts. Countless unruly and eccentric martial arts geniuses, countless famous heroes, countless young talents who despised everything, and even some amazing experts at the God Realm would kneel on one knee to show their respect reverently in front of the 99 martial arts tablets.

From then on, anyone who came to the Saint Mercy Tablets must kneel on one knee to pay their respects.

Ding Hao, the Saber and Sword Addict, became the father of martial arts of the Human Clan. He also became the founder of the great era of martial arts of the Human Clan because of what he had done.

But that part was to be recounted later. Let’s not mention it at the moment.

It was the evening of the second day.

In the past few days, Ding Hao was almost racing against time to arrange everything he thought must be done before leaving.

In fact, in addition to the fact that he didn’t want those painstaking efforts to be wasted, there was another reason for him to make those tablets. Ding Hao was worried that if he died in the chessboard transmission formation, those cultivation methods could be passed down and could serve as a contribution to the Human Clan.

Li Lan had been very busy in the past few days. Occasionally, she took the time to have meals with Ding Hao and Ding Tianshuang and then she would leave in a hurry. She worked day and night without time for a rest.

Ding Hao took the time to accompany Li Yiruo and Ximen Qianxue and gave the Jade in Stone and some other divine treasures to them, hoping that they would be beneficial to their cultivation. With the approaching of troubled times, Ding Hao almost tried all means to improve the strength of his family and friends.

During this period, Gu Xing’er also came to the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa once.

Ding Hao was happy to see that the hot-tempered Gu Xing’er, the female leader of the Changfeng Escort Agency had become a female expert of the new generation in the Northern Region. Hua Huai’an, the boss of the Camel Caravan, and Gu Shaochu, Gu Xing’er’s brother also came to the Snow Province to thank Ding Hao in person.

Their fates were also changed because of Ding Hao.

Hua Huai’an was now the boss of the Camel Caravan, a well-known caravan in the entire Northern Region. Because of Gu Xing’er, he was taken good care of by the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect, and his business went smoothly. His son, Hua Mojian, was also the outstanding one of the younger generation in the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect. Everything went on well with them.

Meanwhile, Gu Shaochu’s business of Escort Agency also started to boom. With so many masters following him, he could notch up bigger deals. Gu Xing’er’s fearsome reputation also made ordinary people dare not to do anything bad to the Camel Caravan.

Both Hua Huai’an and Gu Shaochu came to see Ding Hao anxiously.

After all, Ding Hao was already a young Supreme Master of the Human Clan in the Northern Region. Even if the heads of those major sects saw Ding Hao dare not to act arrogantly. They even didn’t have the chance to see Ding Hao in person. Hua Huai’an and Gu Shaochu knew that they were much inferior to those people, so they might not have a chance to see Ding Hao, either.

They reported their names nervously at the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa. The disciples guarding the gate received them politely and went in to make a report.

After a while, the disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect came out with a smile, followed by a cyan-robed handsome young man. Wasn’t he Ding Hao, the Saber and Sword Addict?

“Haha, I didn’t know it was Brother Hua and Brother Gu who came all the way here. Please forgive me for not coming out to welcome you.” Ding Hao came out to greet them with a smile.

“Your Excellency…” Hua Huai’an stammered and could not speak clearly. Gu Shaochu was almost dumbfounded. They had never expected that Ding Hao would come out to welcome them in person.

“Elder brothers, don’t say that. Just call me Brother Ding as before.” Ding Hao smiled and invited them in.

Ding Hao still missed the days when he first left the Snow Province.

Hua Huai’an and Gu Shaochu were his old friends, both of whom were kind-hearted. Although they didn’t know his identity in those days, they took good care of them. Ding Hao was nostalgic and had long regarded them as friends in his heart.

After Hua Huai’an and Gu Shaochu entered the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa, everyone’s eyes fell on them. All the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and the guests from the other sects who came to visit were wondering who those two people were. Why did Ding Hao, the Saber and Sword Addict, come out to welcome them in person?

Many unabashed heads and seniors of other sects who stayed in the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa were smart. They secretly remembered Hua Huai’an and Gu Shaochu’s appearances and planned to figure out their identities in the future. Since these two newcomers were Ding Hao’s friends, they had to make friends with them, dreaming that they could get to know Ding Hao through his two friends.

In a chorus of greetings, Ding Hao took his two friends to the backyard of the villa.

The front yard was too noisy, so the quiet backyard was the right place to entertain guests.

Some disciples of the sect had already been ordered to prepare food and wine here.

Ding Hao smiled and invited them to take their seats. Then, he whispered something to a disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, and the disciple respectfully agreed and left.

“Elder brothers, you’ve come at the right time. If you were one day late, I’m afraid you wouldn’t see me.” Ding Hao smiled and poured wine for them.

“Ding… Brother Ding, are you going far away?” Hua Huai’an had roamed the world for decades and was best at fathoming people’s minds. After a moment of hesitation, he finally called him Brother Ding.

Ding Hao nodded as he said, “Yes, I’m afraid that I won’t be back in a short time.”

Gu Shaochu raised his glass and said with a smile, “What a coincidence! We have come at the right time to bid you farewell. ”

Ding Hao also drank the wine in the cup with a smile and said, “It’s also a good thing to see my old friends before I leave. Haha, we must drink until we are thoroughly drunk today! ”

“Since Brother Ding is in such a good mood, we will accompany you.” Hua Huai’an’s perturbed heart gradually calmed down. Although Ding Hao was already a famous big shot all over the world, he was nothing different from what he was in the past. Thinking about it, Hua Huai’an was much relieved.

While they were talking, they heard footsteps approaching.

This time, it was Zhang Fan, Wang Xiaoqi, Li Yunqi, Ren Xiaoyao, Lyu Kuang, Chen Sheng, Sun Jiutian, Dumbo Vajra, and others. They were all disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in the same generation as Ding Hao. Since Li Muyun and Liang Feixue disappeared in the Sage Battlefield, the Honorable Alliance of Seven existed in name only. The remaining people such as Chen Sheng, the martial mania, had kept a low profile. Now, all of them had made leapfrog progress in strength. They had become the core figures of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and had a good relationship with Ding Hao.

It was the first time Ding Hao had held a banquet to celebrate with his brothers since he returned to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

“Haha, we’re all here. I haven’t had a drink and chatted with you all for a long time. Taking the opportunity to entertain Brother Hua and Brother Gu, we can have a good drink.” Ding Hao laughed and invited everyone to be seated.
